Unveiling Niostioca: A Journey into my Universe
This project may not fit the conventional mold of design on my portfolio, but it's a deeply personal creative pursuit that holds a special place in my heart. Since 2019, I've been immersed in building a universe from scratch, starting with original pixel art characters that draw inspiration from its expansive lore. Last year, amidst facing my own life trials with my cat passing, I found solace in this world, delving into the endeavour of crafting universe and a light novel set within its vast expanse.

Here's a glimpse into what I've been working on: "In the diverse world of Niostioca, filled with mythical beasts and magical elements, two aspiring hunters, Liivvy and Jaz, aim to achieve the prestigious SSS rank. 

Their journey through the perilous hunting guild ranking system leads them to form crucial alliances and face challenges such as encountering monsters with unexpected intelligence and hidden abilities. As they rise through the ranks, they uncover the looming threat of the absent Demon Lord and the nefarious intentions of the Nefarion Dominion, a kingdom seeking to sow discord and push the world into war.

With the backdrop of elemental magic and the intricate web of alliances and conflicts among various kingdoms and empires, Liivvy and Jaz must navigate the complexities of their world while striving to achieve their goals. And what more do the Isle of Ethereal Whispers hold for this world? It harbours many 'Monsters of Unknown Origin,' only time will tell."

(I crafted the logo design for this project, so there's already a touch of design woven into it, don't you think? haha)

This excerpt merely scratches the surface of the world I've constructed, but the journey thus far has been immensely fulfilling. Crafting this narrative has been a joyous endeavour, yet there's still much ground to cover. I invite you to accompany me on this creative odyssey, lending your support and encouragement as I continue to hone my writing craft.

Thank you for your interest and encouragement along the way. 
FYI - I've found an Anime style artist who perfectly aligns with my vision for creating cover art and illustrations to enhance the storytelling experience. Their anime-style drawings complement the narrative I've crafted, so it's a natural fit. However, I'll need to wait until I have a more stable income to move forward with this aspect of the project.
These are just my original pixel art designs that sparked the whole journey.
